She is literally saying that rhetoric does not incite violence, but claims that rhetoric incite violence do incite violence.




This is, of course, not surprising in the least. This is from the same people who think *complaining* about racism is infinitely worse than racism.

No. That's not what she said. I quoted her exact words. She said journalists and pundits are inciting violence (after saying rhetoric doesn't incite violence). If you would like to be her editor, you should apply for the job because she could use one. But, until then, you will have to stick with her words rather than your revised version of them.

There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal

then the comment about inciting violence. no contradiction whatsoever

BLOOD LIBEL. I love you Sarah. This is the conservative answer to all liberal B.S. Race baiting is now "blood libel" too. We are finally perfecting the ability to fight back!

Couldn't they have at least googled it? How did they even come up with it?
Who cares. It is so perfectly desriptive even a moron an understand it. GENIUS!

To someone who knows what the term really means, it's like she's going around calling black people "coloreds". That's not genius. It shows ignorance. In any other situation, an ordinary person would be embarrassed to find out they have been using a racial slur in conversation.

But somehow, because it's Palin, we are required to "redefine" the term. So now coloreds could just mean "people who don't seem to vote for me". And if I say "hey, do you know coloreds is a slur against black people?" Here is what I have to put up with:

*Did black people copyright it? Is it forever usable in only one situation?
*"Coloreds" is a term that is often used to describe political opponents. I saw it in the Wall Street Journal 2 days ago.
*James Meredith is quoted saying it's OK and he's one of them (I mean one of the "old" them) (bonus if you get the irony)
*It appears she is using the term exactly within its historical meaning, namely that none of those people ever vote for us
*You sound like muslims that don't like the term raghead
*Who cares. Coloreds so perfectly descriptive even a moron can understand it. GENIUS!

And to that I say, it is genius. Because the new meaning of "moron" is Palin supporter.

Well, given your comfort with using slurs, I would say that you are not in a position to judge. And yes, when you use the term "retarded" in that way, it is a slur that even Sarah Palin would agree is inappropriate.

Coward. $20 for you to stand on a street corner spouting this nonsense. I highly doubt you would. You hide behind the anonymity of the internet to spout your hate because you don't have to deal with the repercussions. All you've done is demonstrate your cowardice, ignorance, general stupidity, and lack of moral center. Well played.

I'm lost. Not only can I not tell whether the first post was a parody, I can't tell whether the second is based on the assumption that it was or wasn't. My guess is that it was parody but the reply assumed it was serious. How far off am I?
